| description | This article examines the relationship between burnout and working from home (WFH) during the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular focus on the experiences of Brazilian women who are mothers. Burnout is a state of chronic stress characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Previous research has shown that WFH may be associated with lower levels of physical and mental well-being and higher levels of perceived stress and burnout. Mothers may be more vulnerable to burnout due to increased childcare responsibilities and the persistence of traditional gender roles. Thus, this cross-sectional, on-line study aimed to evaluate the relationship between burnout and motherhood among home-office workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout was evaluated using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, a self-report scale that measures Personal Burnout (PB), Work-related Burnout (WB) and Client-related Burnout (CB). We included 196 women: 85 were mothers, and 69 lived with their children. Mothers who lived with children younger than 12 years old had higher levels of PB (

We included 196 women: 85 were mothers, and 69 lived with their children. Mothers who lived with children younger than 12 years old had higher levels of PB (
p
< 0.001) and WB (
p
= 0.001) when compared to mothers who lived with older children or non-mothers. Multiple linear regression analyses found that an increase in childcare load predicted higher levels of all three types of burnout (PB: β = 0.32,
p
< 0.05; WB: β = 0.33,
p
< 0.05; CB: β = 0.42,
p
< 0.001), while an increase in workload only predicted higher work-related burnout (PB: β = 0.18,
p
= 0.204; WB: β = 0.35,
p
< 0.05; CB: β = −0.02,
p
= 0.877). These results call for greater attention to the mental health of mothers who work from home, especially those with younger children.
Highlights
Mothers with increased childcare load during the pandemic had higher burnout scores than those without changes.
Childcare, notably for children under 12, was associated with higher burnout in all dimensions.
Caregiving load was more significant than the increase of workload to predict burnout among working mothers.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1062-1024</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1573-2843</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s10826-023-02739-1</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>New York: Springer US</publisher><subject>Behavioral Science and Psychology ; Burnout ; Child and School Psychology ; Child care ; COVID-19 ; Depersonalization ; Employed Women ; Fatigue ; Females ; Gender roles ; Mental health ; Mothers ; Multiple Regression Analysis ; Older children ; Original Paper ; Pandemics ; Psychology ; Self report ; Social Sciences ; Sociology ; Work at home ; Working mothers ; Working women ; Workloads</subject><ispartof>Journal of child and family studies, 2024-02, Vol.33 (2), p.416-425</ispartof><rights>The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2023.
